While visiting with Spigen SGP during CES 2013, their Coated Backpack caught my eye. We’ve reviewed — and been impressed by — cases and screen protectors from Spigen SGP, but we had not previously encountered any of their larger offerings. They were kind enough to hand me one of the backpacks on the spot, and [...]

Just Mobile AluPen Pro Review
As much as I have tried to go paperless, it’s been impossible for me to totally quit writing down shopping lists or jotting quick notes to myself or others. Whether I like it or not, I think I will always need to have a pen handy. Add to that my occasional need for a capacitive [...]
Rokform RokShield v3 for iPhone 5 Review and CES Booth Gallery
When opting to put my iPhone in a case these days, I tend to go one of two directions. I either seek out a slim, minimalist case that will protect my iPhone from scratches while adding the least amount of weight and bulk, or I put the phone in a LifeProof case for maximum protection. [...]
Attack of the CES Booth Bimbos
My apologies for the rather sexist title of this post. I tried to find something more “PC” but could not come up with anything that was even close in its accuracy when trying to describe the situation we ran into time and time again during CES 2013. As is so often the case at trade [...]
Martian Watches Land at CES 2013
During CES, Judie and I had the opportunity to sit down with Martian Watches to chat about their product, the experience of going on Kickstarter in order to first promote and back it, and to gain some insight into their thoughts about the overall smart watch market. We both came away impressed by the product itself [...]

OtterBox & AT&T Reveal the Armor Series at CES – Toughest Cases Ever Built?
In general, I tend to go for iPhone cases that add as little weight and bulk to my iPhone as possible, while at the same time giving me at least some protection. But there are definitely times when you want more protection than that. Let’s say you have a loved one who has an unfortunate [...]
Travelocity Launches New Waterproof/Sandproof Mobile Device Cases
So you’re going on a trip, and you want to be able to protect your precious gear, right? Well, you can go to the standbys like Otterbox or some such, but as we often tell you here on Gear Diary, we love competition. And so now gear maker Mizco, via their Travelocity division (and no, [...]
Etón Proves Nature Is Pretty Darn Good at Empowering Innovative Technology!
Hurricane Sandy knocked out power for much of New Jersey, and at our house we lost power for about a week. Unfortunately, it was the same week we were scheduled to move out, so we found ourselves doing all the last minute packing in the dark. Luckily we weren’t totally on our own, as my [...]
Targus iNotebook Shines at CES 2013
While at CES, we spent some time visiting with Targus. Among the new items they were showing off was the $179.99 iNotebook, which “seamlessly transmits your handwritten notes to your iPad using the included sensor and pen.” If it sounds too good to be true, then you might want to check out this quick demo of [...]
Gumdrop Put Their iPad Where Their Toughness Claims Were at CES!
Gumdrop is part of the growing set of case makers targeting people looking for a tough but attractive way to protect their iOS devices. Sure, their cases are attractive, come in multiple colors and styles, and cover all sorts of devices from iPhones to tablets. But what really makes Gumdrop stand out is their willingness [...]

Check out the extensive gallery for a look. Among the most interesting current products are a laptop messenger and laptop [...]
iSmartAlarm Puts Your iPhone in Charge of Security
One of the really cool parts of being at CES was the chance to check out accessories and products that are up and coming. Of those, there were more than a few that hooked into the ubiquitous iOS ecosystem. We carry our iPhones and iPads everywhere, and companies are taking them beyond just email and [...]
Beyzacases and Aston Martin CES Booth Tour
It all started when Ali Yildirim’s daughter, Beyza, wanted a case for her mobile device. She couldn’t find one that she liked, so her father decided to make her one. Today, Beyzacases is a world class leather accessory maker; their products are available in European Apple retail and online stores, and they are an official licensed partner [...]
